Major movements considered in this analysis are the Arts and Crafts Movement, Bauhaus, and Contemporary Art. The purpose of this work is to develop a deeper understanding of the shift occurring in contemporary art by picking apart the events leading up to its existence in order to theorize what place textile art may have in the future.
